Hello All,

We recently encountered an issue with the SMS Call Number Notice lacking access 
to item information. In our library consortium we have some consolidated 
libraries, where the items have a single owning library and different circ 
libraries. We also have some rotating/floating collections that can result in 
the owning library and the circ library being different on an item.

As a result, the Call Number Trigger does not provide the correct information 
for where the item is located. The notice is not aware of the item details, 
only the call number details. So, the notice will have info for the item at the 
owning library but not the circ library where the item is located.

Has this caused issues for any other large system users?

I have made a Wishlist bug here:

Observed in When a patron uses the Send Call Number to phone option, it can 
send confusing or incorrect item location information. Example: Item has 
differing owning and circ library settings. This can happen in consolidated 
library situations where all titles are owned by the main branch and they 
circulate out of various others. Also, happens with floating/rotating 
collections that are shared from owning library and circulate for a few months 
from a partner library. The SMS link is next to...
